They used to recommend having 10 to 20 percent of your portfolio in precious metals, but now I that figure should be closer 40 to 50 percent. I just don't think the US economy will outgrow inflationary pressures on the dollar relative to the value of gold and silver in the next decade, ie the forseeable future. This will be reflected by poor performance in the equity markets.
Bill Murphy, chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA), talks about the silver backwardation how The Silver Market is very Tight and that it will be reflected on the silver price in the coming months and how undervalued double-digit silver is and reiterate James' target of 400$ silver. The important thing is not how much it has gone up or what the dollar price is, but value. The small amount of physical silver relative to the huge amount of paper silver and even larger amount of paper money means that silver is still hugely undervalued and why to understand the gold and silver markets it is fundamental to know what GATA knows and be familiar with the gold price suppression scheme. How outstanding gold loans and massive paper gold shorts have distorted the market and how this is now unraveling. Finally he explains the tremendous potential in mining stocks and how these have been suppressed too, despite rising gold prices. Given their tiny market capitalization he expects that when the rush comes, they will rise in value very rapidly and outshine even the dotcom bubble.
Bill Murphy & Chris Waltzek - Oct. 19, 2011 : Bill Murphy, chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA), talks about his recent interview with Jesse Ventura about the manipulation in Gold and Silver market and he explains the silver backwardation how The Silver Market is very Tight and that it will be reflected on the silver price in the coming months and how undervalued double-digit silver is and reiterate James' target of 400$ silver.

Eric Sprott, Financial Sense NewsHour 19 Oct 2011 : The Markets have made gold the de facto reserve currency , there are two markets for silver there is the physical market and there is the paper market and I found it almost ludicrous that when silver was close to 50 dollars an ounce then we would have days between London and China and New York when we trade a billion ounces of paper silver in a day and the world only produces 900 million a year rather than thinking about the guy who is buying it think about the guy who is selling it , somebody hit the sell button to sell a billion ounces of silver and of course without having any possibility of providing none of that silver because it is just not available , the amount that is available today is a million and a half ounces of silver for investment per day meanwhile some guy is selling a billion ounces by hitting a computer key
